I would like to present you my little game, iWordjuggle.</p>
<p>When I created the game I looked at a lot of word games on the Appstore and there were a few things I didn't like. So I thought I can do something better.<br />
I will name three of these things which this game doesn't have, but that's what makes it stand out of the crowd:<br />
Timers. Which in my opinion put pressure on the gamer. I tried, by not including a timer, to create a more &quot;Hey, I got 5 minutes to kill&quot; feeling to it. Casual &amp; Relaxed.<br />
Showing how many words are left to be found. As I see it, this takes away the thrill of the game, I feel this turns the game into a &quot;Find me THIS many words&quot;. By not showing how many words are left, a &quot;Can I stop now, or could I find more and improve my high score?&quot; feeling is always present. Casual &amp; Competitive.<br />
Giving the user random letters or a word to scramble. It's either completely random, or almost predefined. Well, I took a different approach and give the user a set of 15 random words, from which he will choose 3 to play with. He can random the words again and again, but the 3 words must be chosen from the same set. Randomness &amp; Control.<br />
Another key element is that the user can choose how many letters shall the 15 random words have. Ranging from 4 to 6 letter words, or a mix of 3-4/3-5/3-6, everyone gets a piece of pie here!</p>
<p>The features list:<br />
5 color themes (black, gray, baby blue, jade and creamy beige) and 2 tiles colors (wood and metallic gray). The wood is default, the gray one is an IAP.<br />
Landscape, left-handed support, Game Center integration with Leaderboards and Achievements, top 10 local Hall of Fame, everything split for each difficulty category.<br />
OpenFeint.<br />
A &quot;Compete mode&quot; where you get to freely choose your words, in case you have a friend/kid you would like to play against (Highscore submission to Game Center is disabled during this mode, for obvious reasons).<br />
Puts emphasis on finding long words by increasing bonus points the longer the word, adding another layer of competitiveness to this casual friendly game.<br />
Sure, it might not have a fancy interface top notch games have, but for it's purpose, I feel it's just right. Minimalistic and friendly.<br />
It's suited for word game addicts as much as it is for casual gamers, as well as for teaching your kids.<br />
Best of all? It's free!<br />
